On the more obscure and specific side, Stanford University's Copyright and Fair Use website provides a wealth of information associated with intellectual property rights, especially for those in a position to exercise fair use. A very unique and useful collection is the Copyright Renewal Database where you can look up renewal records to find out if a copyrighted work has been renewed. This is useful for those interested in tracking down whether a work may still be under copyright protection.
Evaluation assessment: This site exhibits a high level of authority, accuracy, and currency as evidenced by the following:
- hosted and sponsored by a recognized authority on intellectual property, Stanford University
- contact information is provided
- accuracy testing is described openly
- written to inform rather than to entertain or persuade
